Overview
of Jaguar

Jaguar
Cars is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover, a British multinational car manufacturer
headquartered in Whitley, Coventry, England, owned by the Indian company Tata
Motors since 2008.

Jaguar's
business was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, originally making
motorcycle sidecars before developing bodies for passenger cars. Under the ownership
of S. S. Cars Limited the business extended to complete cars. The name S. S. Cars
was changed to "Jaguar" in 1945. A merger with the British Motor Corporation followed
in 1966, the resulting enlarged company now being renamed as British Motor Holdings
(BMH), which in 1968 merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became British
Leyland, itself to be nationalised in 1975. Jaguar was de-merged from British
Leyland and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1984, becoming a constituent
of the FTSE 100 Index until it was acquired by Ford in 1990.

Jaguar
has, in recent years, manufactured cars for the British Prime Minister, the most
recent delivery being an XJ in May 2010. The company also holds royal warrants
from Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.

Jaguar
cars today are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centres at the Whitley
plant in Coventry and at their Gaydon site in Warwickshire, and are manufactured
in Jaguar's Castle Bromwich assembly plant in Birmingham with some manufacturing
expected to take place in the Solihull plant. In September 2013, Jaguar Land Rover
announced plans to open a 100 million GBP (160 million USD) research and development
centre in the University of Warwick, Coventry to create a new generation of vehicle
technologies. The carmaker said around 1,000 academics and engineers would work
there with construction starting in 2014.
